fabric shopping can be dangerous... but its a challenge that I am happy to accept lol I absolutely cant help myself sometimes, so luckily im sent with a list. haha

Cutting is also a very important job, the slightest mistakes can ruin a whole garment and with trial and error I have learned that its best to have a large surface and all the correct tools before you start. ** use pattern weights and mark all notches

and afterwards you will have yourself the most perfect piece ;) Check out www.kristinhassan.com and happy shopping everything is made in Chicago and a lot of the pieces are cut by me! Thanks for supporting local designers save the world haha one dress at a time of course ;)

isn't the skyline so pretty! and now that the weather is heating up... im gonna take full advantage of the fact im blessed to be able to call this place home ;) Watch out Chi town, now I got my single girl swag on hahaaaa

So I went to eat at my fav local place thats open 24 hours, and noticed a man sleeping in the booth across from us. The waitress was an older woman ... and was not playing around. She practically dragged him out of the booth. When he stood up he was covered in puke, nastyyyy. Man chicago is a crazyy city, there should be a tv show about it haha

In all my city slicken life lol I HAVE NEVER been in such a stinky cab like for real I was dying... so beware of cab 1353x, its a stinker. I almost felt bad for the guy, like should I have bought the man some fabreeze?? He had to know that something was rank in his cab...

They say the best inspirations are the ones that are around you everyday... everywhere. Sometimes we don't take the time to realize the beauty of our surroundings. Even what most people perceive as ugly is beautiful, if you look close enough at it. So walk around with open eyes and heart, look at everything and take it all in. If you try and find the beauty in things you might just surprise yourself. Get inspired and soak it all in ;)

So last night it hit me as I was entertaining a friend and we decided to order pizza, I never get food delivered. I mean I don't even really know what delivers around 60661. Then the discussion came about how ordering take out for a single person is just stupid (esp when you live in a city like oh I dunno downtown Chicago and the options of food are pretty much endless). By the time I order my one meal I have to end up spending atleast $25 and then be stuck with more food then I know what to do with. And after only so many days can one keep eating chinese food. I would have to eat my left overs for every meal, 3 days straight. It would be fine if I was ordering for two, but im not just quite there yet ;) who knows maybe someday... soon!
